Fibroid Management In Coral Springs, FL <\/strong><\/h1><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>What is a fibroid? Uterine fibroids or leiomyomas are small growths in the uterine wall from connective tissue and muscles. Fibroids are generally benign; in some cases, they may develop as a single nodule (growth) or clusters, ranging in size from 1mm to 8 inches.<\/p>\n
These growths are pretty common, affecting around 40 to 80% of women. Still, establishing the correct number of people affected by them can be challenging because some women don\u2019t experience any fibroid symptoms.<\/p>\n
Fibroid Risks<\/h2>\n
Several risk factors may lead to leiomyomas, including the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Obesity<\/li>\n
- Not having children<\/li>\n
- Getting your period at a younger age<\/li>\n
- Family history of leiomyomas<\/li>\n
- Entering menopause later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Fibroid Symptoms and Causes<\/h2>\n
The causes behind fibroids aren\u2019t precisely understood. However, the symptoms are well documented. As mentioned above, some women might not experience any problems with them, while others (especially if the fibroids are larger) may experience several symptoms, including the following:<\/p>\n
\n- Painful menstruation with excessive bleeding<\/li>\n
- Bloating<\/li>\n
- Bleeding between periods<\/li>\n
- Painful intercourse<\/li>\n
- Pain in the lower back<\/li>\n
- Frequent need to urinate<\/li>\n
- Chronic vaginal discharge<\/li>\n
- Constipation<\/li>\n
- Being unable to empty the bowel completely<\/li>\n
- Increased abdominal distention<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Are Fibroids Cancerous?<\/h2>\n
When patients ask, \u201cWhat are fibroids,\u201d they usually fear that these growths are malignant. Fortunately, these growths turn cancerous in only extremely rare cases. Unfortunately, no test can 100% predict cancerous fibroids, but when women experience rapid leiomyoma growth, providers immediately evaluate their situation and swiftly develop a treatment plan.<\/p>\n
Diagnosing Fibroids<\/h2>\n
Typically, fibroids are discovered during routine exams, often felt during a pelvic exam, gyno exam, or prenatal care appointments.<\/p>\n
Also, various tests can confirm the presence of leiomyomas:<\/p>\n
\n- CT and MRI scan<\/li>\n
- Ultrasonography<\/li>\n
- Sonohysterography<\/li>\n
- HSG or hysterosalpingography<\/li>\n
- Hysteroscopy<\/li>\n
- Laparoscopy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Treatment and Management<\/strong><\/p>\nFibroid treatment will depend on various factors such as the location, the size, the number of growths, and the symptoms the patient is experiencing. Those not experiencing discomfort because of fibroids usually won\u2019t require any treatment.<\/p>\n
Small fibroids will usually be left alone but monitored closely to ensure they don\u2019t start growing rapidly.<\/p>\n
When opting for the best form of treatment, your provider will also consider your fertility goals for the future.<\/p>\n
Still, the most prevalent treatment options for fibroids generally include several different approaches.<\/p>\n
Medications:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Taking iron supplements<\/li>\n
- OTC pain medications<\/li>\n
- Taking GnRH agonists<\/li>\n
- Birth control<\/li>\n
- Different oral therapies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Surgery:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Myomectomy\n
\n- Laparoscopy<\/li>\n
- Hysteroscopy<\/li>\n
- Laparotomy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Procedures that might\/will prevent future pregnancies\n
\n- Uterine fibroid embolization<\/li>\n
- Hysterectomy<\/li>\n
- Radiofrequency ablation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
